just picked this badboy up:

clip the probe onto #1 (or whichever) injector line, hook it up, attach inductive timing light to the loop on the board, and voila! You can time your diesel engine like a gasser, by degrees, instead of mm. Also features a digital tach reading, and a bunch of cool other things.
byebye dial indicator.
(off you go to the back of the tool drawer )
:D

Where'd you find that neat toy?
I really need something like that. I'm almost positive that my actual timing is off even though my dial indicator says its spot on

two words. E and Bay

how much would you charge to do timing??? i wouldn't mind getting mine bang on!
btw, i wonder if it would be possible to use the TDI sensor's to make a timing system... like the wire for the 3rd injector, and the crank sensor?
-
Would that system help with people who have swapped a TD engine into a different make vehicle and used the ACME adapter plate to use the non vw transmission? I though I read somewhere that was aproblem?

theoretically if you find TDC on the crank, you can time the engine properly. with dr. diesel's new toy *drool* he can time the engine to within new spec because that machine will allow you to time the engine by actual injection. old tired pumps have a delay in the injection, so mechanically timing it by the book doesn't cut it.
very precise! so how much $$$ :)
-
I can finally dial in my giles pump and squeeze every little hp out of it i can.
-
We are suppost to have something like that at work. Maybe I can get them to buy one.
-
yeah...... the only issue being that there is no information as to what degrees equals what mm. I'll need to make up a specs list using an engine with a new camplate in it's pump. Smokeydub, it looks like you just saved yourself A MILLION DOLLARS!! HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!
We'll use your new Giles pump to figure out those specs, then I can charge eveyone else A MILLION DOLLARS!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!! to check their timing.
As said above, if you can find a definite TDC mark, you should be able to time the pump by either method.
-
one million dollars (austin powers style) hehehe
-
I was playing around with a few flywheels and it looks like 50mm=24degrees.
That was measured on the flat area running around the flywheel, above the timing mark.
-
oh. i meant degrees crank vs mm dial indicator-in-pump.
-
The only thing better then buying one of those Tach-n-Times your self is telling your boss about it and the company orders it. Now I have one to use and I didnt have to spend a dime.
Sweet Doc...that info would be great....and I promise to give you a useage fee if I make money with it...:D
-
for you, half A MILLION DOLLARS!! HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA! :D

Another one on ebay...Item#290108941611
